With a strong technical structure led by Bob Bell, we are moving ourselves into the best possible position to achieve our ambitions.” Norbert Haug, Vice-President, Mercedes-Benz Motorsport commented: “Since MERCEDES GP PETRONAS was formed as a new team in early 2010, we have been putting in place the building blocks for success. Our technical organisation was strengthened by the arrival of Bob Bell and, working closely with Ross, he has identified the areas where we can improve still further. Aldo and Geoff will reinforce our technical management and bring the experience required to harness the talents of our people in Brackley; we have also recruited and invested at other levels in order to maximise our competitiveness under the Resource Restriction Agreement.

The company is believed to have taken the decision after indications in Japan that the automotive markets are not getting any better, Honda having recently announced a 56% drop in earnings in the last quarter, compared to 2008. Prior to that the company was looking at other options, such as selling the team on to someone else. This has now been axed and the company will simply close things down and settle all the necessary contractual commitments as quickly as possible. The news, if confirmed, will be another blow to the manufacturer power in F1 as it will be the third withdrawal by a major car company in 11 months, following in the footsteps of Honda and BMW. There are also doubts about the future of Renault's factory team. The news will also be a blow to the Formula One Teams' Association, although the members have learned that working together produces much better results than trying to take on the authorities alone. It also means that there are now just three manufacturers left: Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault, and engine supply from Cosworth will become essential to ensure there are sufficient engines to go around.

The Shifting Geography of Competitive Advantage: Clusters, Networks and Firms
Journal of Economic Geography, 2012, Volume 10, Number 4, Pages 599-618 The Shifting Geography of Competitive Advantage: Clusters, Networks and Firms MARK JENKINS* Cranfield School of Management Cranfield Bedfordshire MK43 0AL United Kingdom [email protected] Tel: +44 (0) 1234 754407 Fax: +44 (0) 1234 751806 STEPHEN TALLMAN University of Richmond Richmond VA 23173 USA [email protected] Tel: +1 804/ 287-6589 * Point of contact for Editors. Paper accepted for the Special Issue of the Journal of Economic Geography: “International Business and Economic Geography: The Multinational in Geographical Space” 1 The Shifting Geography of Competitive Advantage: Clusters, Networks and Firms Abstract We consider the dynamics of knowledge-based sources of advantage as they move between geographical locations and multinational and other firm level networks using the specialist context of Formula 1 motor over a fifty nine year period. We suggest that shifts in competitive advantage are underpinned by the movement of both architectural and component knowledge at both the firm and cluster level, and in particular we suggest that isolated firms can both benefit from and add to cluster level knowledge. We conclude by suggesting ways in which MNEs can adapt their approach to both location and knowledge development in order to enhance their ability to create competitive advantage. Keywords Clusters, competitive advantage, networks, knowledge flows, Formula 1. 2 1. Introduction An important development in the study of multinational firms and knowledge-based competitive advantage in recent years is the recognition that unique, rent-generating knowledge can be found in many locations around the globe. No longer are multinational firms assumed to be interested in foreign locations only as potential markets for goods and services embodying knowledge developed in the home country; rather, they are explicitly found to use these locations as sources of innovative knowledge (Tallman and Fladmoe- Lindquist, 2002).
